I need your assistance if your Agency has opted to report the value of employer paid 
member contributions (EPMC) to CalPERS as additional compensation.  I have two 
questions:

1)  Is the EPMC that is reported as additional compensation subject to just the 
employee contribution rate? Or, does the employer contribution need to be computed on 
this amount, as well?

2)  If only the employee contribution needs to be computed on the EPMC, how do you 
deal with reporting two different wage bases on the PERS Report, a higher wage base 
for employee contributions (the wages earned plus the value of EPMC), and a lower one 
for the employer contributions (only the wages earned).

I have been trying to get this issue resolved with PERS, but have not been able to 
reach the person that can give me give me a clear answer.  Any assistance you can 
provide will be greatly appreciated.  Time is of the essence.  Thanks again,
